uberreinigerI feel very lethargic today despite having done everything I set out to do. It's been the second of two days off in a row. The first involved rehearsal with the troupe. Our big performance of the summer is two weeks out and I think everyone is feeling the stress. Rehearsal was a lot of fun though and I'm not worried. Then again I basically just have to show up and say my lines. I'm not involved in making costumes or any of the other logistical stuff. I will be next year if I manage to write & direct a couple of sketches like I'm planning on. This year it's still a source of relaxation and I'm grateful for that.
Today I got up early and went to Walmart to buy a bunch of stuff we needed. I also decided today that I am going to lose weight. I know I have been gaining too much weight. But what finally motivated me as no matter of health or beauty could is the fact that my Slayer t-shirt is now feeling snug. I will sacrifice a great deal of my quality of life in the name of eating what I damn well please but one thing I will NOT sacrifice are my metal band t-shirts. So the buying trip this morning included buying some fruit, which isn't really kept around the house. The family barbecued corn on the cob last night and I ate what was left of it throughout the day along with some grapefruit. I feel pretty good.
The big problem in my life is soda. And I'm not going to try and cut it out because who am I fucking kidding. But I've drank about half today of what I usually drink. I bought some V8 Splash which I used to drink all the time and am using it to curb my soda cravings at meal times. It's weird but I don't like to drink water when I'm eating. I like a sweet drink. But I've found it doesn't matter what that drink is. It doesn't have to be carbonated. So if I'm hoping I can step down from soda using the juice.
"Using the juice." Sounds like I'm talking about street drug slang. Then again, the way the health nuts talk about corn syrup they'd probably say that's exactly what I'm talking about.
I wrote this morning and felt good about it. I practiced the bass but didn't feel particularly inspired. I spent the afternoon catching up with Transformers: War for Cybertron on the PS3. Almost to the end of the Decepticon campaign. I thought I'd save the epic boss fight against Omega Supreme for another day. You might remember him from your childhood as the motorized walking Transformer toy who turned into a giant-ass battle station. That's your boss fight. Have fun selecting "Resume from last save point?" over and over again. I've had the game since Christmas and it's fun to be playing it again. I'd like to at least say I got the Decepticon campaign done before I owned the machine for six months.
Tonight since M. had class and I was home I logged in to WoW to go on a raid with my guild. I haven't raided since the end of Wrath of the Lich King and I figured it was time to see what was out there. They had enough people signed up already so I didn't get to go on the raid. I actually felt relieved and glad not to go. I think I might be getting ready to move on from WoW. I don't want that to be the case, I really don't. But... I dunno, anymore logging in and playing is like having sex with a Tauren who doesn't love you anymore and won't look at you during.
So here I am, rocking out to Moonspell, trying to get motivated to write some more on one of my WIP's while I wait for M. to come home. Hope everyone else had a good Memorial Day holiday.
